Tables of legislation in force

The Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force was an annual printed publication listing all principal Acts and Statutory Regulations (now Legislative Instruments) in force at 1 January for a given year, and the amendments made to them. The publication also included a list of deemed regulations (now Other Instruments) and the PCO editorial conventions for reprints.

The 2013 Tables (up to 1 January 2014) are the last volume that was published. The 2013 Tables are available from Legislation Direct.

The series was discontinued because the information in the tables is available through the New Zealand Legislation website in a more comprehensive, flexible, and up-to-date form.

In addition, the New Zealand Legislation website allows users to produce many other tailored lists of legislation by using appropriate options under Advanced search. For example, by including both Acts and Legislative Instruments in the search, you can generate a list of all legislation (Acts and Legislative Instruments) in force.

Results can be ordered alphabetically, or by type, or by year.
